Accuracy of the mean sea level continuous record with future altimetric missions: Jason-3 vs. Sentinel-3a

The current mean sea level (MSL) continuous record, essential to understanding the climate evolution, is computed with the altimetric measurements of the TOPEX/Poseidon mission, succeeded by Jason-1 and later Jason-2. The accurate continuity of the record is ensured by the conservation of the "...
